Original Summary

Years ago after the last Unity CEO issue, a lot of Unity developers began searching for a new development platform due to pricing changes. Unity tends to send a lot of information that developers ignore via email, however last Tuesday they sent two emails in quick succession (a) TFA has been disabled on your account and a follow up email (b) Your account has been suspended.<p>In a world of phishing attempts - I personally ignored these emails only to discover today that Unity had indeed suspended my account. Considering the many, many thousands of dollars I have spent on Asset Store purchases over the years - and that they are now locked in this account - in addition to the fact that Unity cannot be used without either unsuspending the account (or creating a new one)... I&#x27;m concerned as to why Unity went about doing it this way. Was there a data breach? Or is it just plain incompetence on their part to approach the problem this way?<p>For those of you yet to discover your account has been blocked you can find support information here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.unity.com&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;articles&#x2F;54616227806612-My-Unity-account-was-suspended-after-the-2FA-deadline-How-do-I-get-it-back<p>For me, it just feels like another nail in the coffin; I&#x27;m not using Unity professionally at the moment because of fears like this. (Insert greybeard rant on &quot;things weren&#x27;t like this when we owned our software and personal computers during the &#x27;good old days&#x27;). But wow. If this had happened a few years ago when I was consulting and earning 100% of my income through Unity I would have been shocked.<p>On top of this I had a reddit post blow up and fill my email box up.<p>While I&#x27;m ranting - I&#x27;ll end up on a positive note... Deepseek had an outage on Wednesday &amp; users got refunded a weeks worth of token spend - it was delightful to see and to me this is what it looks like when a company is super-focused on retaining their users.<p>Peace out.
